About the Szent István University, Gödöllő

Szent István University (SZIU), one of Hungary’s most prominent

institutions of higher education, consists of seven faculties for study and

research hosting over 16,000 students. It was founded in 2000 by the merger

of the University of Veterinary Science in Budapest, Ybl Miklós Technical

College, the Teachers’ Training College of Jászberény and the University of

Agriculture in Gödöllő. Later on, in 2009, Tessedik Sámuel College merged

with SZIE as well. The university campuses, located throughout the

country, are home to some beautiful buildings in Hungary, offering students

and staff a comfortable, relaxing environment for the attainment of

knowledge. With parts of its history dating back well over two centuries,

SZIU blends Hungary’s rich traditions with cutting-edge technology to meet

the needs of its students in today’s competitive labour markets.

Within the seven faculties degree programs are offered in a wide variety of

subjects ranging from natural sciences, engineering and veterinary

medicine to business, economics, social sciences, health sciences and

pedagogy. Programs are available at every level from vocational training,

through BSc, MSc courses to PhD and beyond. SZIU understands the

importance of internationalization and promotes a variety of international

activities.

About the Faculty

The Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences is the largest faculty of the

Szent István University with nearly 4000 students. Although the central

campus is located in Gödöllő, Central-Hungary, which is about 30 kms

from the capital, the Faculty offers courses on the other campuses of the

University as well, e.g. in Budapest, Békéscsaba, Szarvas and in

Transylvania (Csíkszereda). Based on the preparedness and qualification of

the academic staff and the usefulness of

the knowledge gained by the students,

the Faculty is on the 4th place among

the 180 Hungarian higher education

institutions, while regarding the

business courses, it is on the 3rd place.

In addition to the courses for Hungarian students, the Faculty offers courses

from BSc to PhD in English and modules/subjects in German, French

and Russian as well. The Faculty has two doctoral schools in management

and business administration and regional sciences. Due to the increasing

number of foreign students, our central campus in Gödöllő has become a

multicultural international center. Additionally, we have strong and long-

lasting cooperation with foreign partner institutions to offer joint programs,

enabling our students to pursue studies in the Netherlands, France, Slovakia,

Czech Republic and Poland. We believe that such collaborations improve

the competitiveness of the diplomas of our graduates. The Faculty has

established a widespread corporate network with national and

multinational companies located in the country to allow the students to

spend their internship at well-established businesses to gain practical

experience before entering onto the labor market.


6

The campus can be reached easily and is situated in a nice green

environment. The hostel on campus offers services of 3-star hotels,

therefore the students can be accommodated in comfortable and modern

rooms. The various associations

and organizations of students

contribute to an active student life

on campus. The sport center and

the recently renovated football

grounds provide several sport

facilities to the youth.

Attraction of the city:

There are several impressive attractions in the city of Gödöllő and many of

them are connected to the history of Franz Franz Josef, Emperor of Austria

and King of Hungary and his wife

Elisabeth ("Sisi") in many ways.The

Royal Couple spent a lot of time in the

Royal Palace of Gödöllő. The Palace is

one of the most important, largest

monuments of Hungarian palace

architecture. The palace has a double U shape, and is surrounded by an

enormous park. The palace was originally built for the Grassalkovich

family, but later Franz Josef and his wife

Elisabeth ("Sisi") had their summer

residence here.

A train station was built for the royal

couple so that they can reach Gödöllő

from Budapest.


26

The building with a dome roof, wrought iron columns, elaborate platform

cover, new driveway for the carriages and flowerbeads hosts an exhibition

which shows the past time royal waiting rooms'

atmosphere with souvenirs, miniatures of old trains

and furniture.

The Queen Elisabeth’s Park was created in

November 1898 in honour of Queen Elisabeth of

Hungary. Gödöllő Palace and the surrounding park

and landscape were her favourite summer palaces.

In 1901 the Hungarian sculptor József Róna created

the bronze monument of the empress-queen at the end of an avenue of trees. Last but not least, there is a magnificent building, the Baroque Church in

Máriabesnyő, one of Gödöllő’s neighbourhoods.

The two storey baroque church with the two

altars and the Virgin Mary Statues is a unique

site in Hungary that attracts thousands of

pilgrims every year.

Associations for foreign students in the SZIU:

1. Erasmus Student Network (ESN)

Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is one of the biggest interdisciplinary

student associations in Europe. ESN works for the creation of a more

mobile and flexible education environment by supporting and developing

the student exchange from different levels, and providing an intercultural

experience also to those students who cannot access a period abroad.

In synthesis, ESN:

• works in the interest of international students,


27

• works to improve the social and practical integration of international

students,

• represents the needs and rights of international students on the local,

national, and international level,

• provides relevant information about mobility programs,

• motivates students to study abroad,

• works with the reintegration of homecoming students,

• contributes to the improvement and accessibility of student mobility,

• cares about its members,

• values volunteering and active citizenship.

The students who are returning from

exchange are being supported in

reintegration process in their home

countries by keeping contact with an

international environment. Many local

sections are set up by former exchange

students, often because they have had

good experiences from their exchange

period or because they felt a lack of help during their exchange. They also

understand better the issues and challenges in a foreign environment.

However, the main focus of ESN is placed on current exchange students,

who often face problems (and feel abandoned) in their new environments.

Therefore, ESN offers help in academic, social and practical integration

process. This is mainly done through activities in the local sections, which

include cultural and social events such as trips to various places within the

country, film nights, language projects, international food festivals and last,

but not least, parties.


28

In addition to that, many sections have introduced mentor systems, which

help the international students mainly in academic and practical integration. Website: http://szie.esn.hu,

2. AIESEC

AIESEC is an international organisation for the youth, which provides the

opportunity to discover and improve their skills and abilities, to meet each

other, and to run social and economic projects. Website: http://godollo.aiesec.hu/

3. Students’ Union

This organisation works to represent the interest of university students. All

the students are the members of this union. Its activity covers the interests

of each and every student. The most important task of the Students’ Union,

besides protecting the

interests of students, is to

provide help for them in any

kind of problems. It tries to

answer all the questions of

the students during the semesters – e.g. general or administrational ones.
